POUCH.

Application filed July 28, 1922. Serial No. 578,220.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MAURICE F. Do'rY, acitizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cookand State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements inPouches, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has for its chief charac teristic the provision of a keypouch associated with means for holding or suspending the keys withinthe pouch, and also having means by which the pouch in its entirety maybe suspended or supported from its upper end, the invention being simplein construction so that it may be manufactured and sold at a verynominal cost. 7

The nature and advantages of the invention will be better understoodwhen the following detailed description is read in coniection with theaccompanying drawing, the invention residing in the construction,combination and arrangement of parts as claimed.

In the drawing forming part of this application, like numerals ofreference indicate similar parts in the several views, and whereinFigure 1 is a view in elevation of the preferred form of the invention.

Figure 2 is a similar view of a modified form.

Figure 3 is a sectional view through Fig ure 1.

Figure I is a sectional view taken on line l--4t of Figure 2.

Referring to the drawing in detail, and particularly to Figures 1-3, thepouch is indicated at A, and this pouch may be con structed from anysuitable material and also vary in size without departing from thespirit of the invention. The pouch is closed at its upper end and openat its lower end, while at two sides 10 and 11 of the pouch are providedwith alined perforations adjacent the topof the pouch as illustrated,these perforations being indicated at 13 and arranged to receive a ring14: by means of which the pouch may be supported or suspended. Arrangedwithin the pouch is a key ring 15, the latter being supported by thering 14, the arrangement being such that the keys are supported by thering 15 and wholly disposed within the pouch.

In Figures 2 and 4, I have illustrated a modified form of the inventionwherein the key pouch is indicated generally at B and is of course ofthe same construction and outline as the pouch A.

In this form of the invention, a tongue 17 is used in place of the ring14 above described, and for the same purposes. The tongue 17 is securedbetween the sides 10' and llof the pouch B and the stitching whichsecures the sides together. The tongue is arranged within a portionprojecting above the pouch and by means of which the same may besupported or suspended in any suitable manner, while a portion of thetongue projects within the pouch and is perforated as at 18 to receivethe key ring 19. The invention, in either instance, provides a veryuseful article which is simple in construction and which can bemanufactured and sold at a very nominal cost.

While it is believed that from the fore going description, the natureand advantages of the invention will be readily apparent, I desire tohave it understood that I do not limit myself to what is herein shownand described, and that such changes may be resorted to when desired asfall within the scope of what is claimed.

What I claim is:

In a key pouch, an inverted receptacle open at its lower end, a tonguesecured between the sides of the receptacle and having a portionprojecting beyond the upper end for supporting the receptacle, and aportion of the said tongue being arranged within the receptacle andperforated to receive and support a key ring, for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I afliX my signature.

MAURICE F. DOTY.
